Subframe: Service and Repair




Subframe Replacement

Front Subframe Torque

NOTE:

- Before removing the subframe, make a mark where the subframe lines up with the body for reinstallation.
- Loosely install the new subframe mounting bolts, the body mounting bracket mounting bolts, and the gearbox front and rear stiffeners.
- After mounting the subframe and brackets loosely, align the reference marks with the body, then tighten the bolts.
